A cold air mass from the Balkans is set to hit Italy, bringing a drastic drop in temperatures and weather conditions characterized by rain and snow. The Adriatic regions, along with southern Italy, including Naples and Campania, will be the most affected. Temperatures could drop as much as 10 degrees Celsius, with the cold weather expected to last at least until Tuesday.
Impact on Central and Southern Italy
The weekend will see the arrival of a cold wave in central and southern Italy. Balkan currents will accompany a new vortex, moving toward southern Italy, bringing wintry conditions. Precipitation will primarily affect the central Adriatic, the south, and Sicily, bringing snow to the Apennines at altitudes of 700-1000 meters. In the north, however, stable weather is expected, with fog and low clouds in the Po Valley.

Yes, it is true that cold weather can cause discomfort, especially for those who have to travel. You always have to be prepared and cautious when these conditions exist.
This weather forecast seems a bit exaggerated to me, but it's always good to know that it will be cold. Let's hope it's not too intense because snow can cause problems.
